That Bruckner Evening
It is 1950 and we are in the drawing room of the home of Olivia Pinckney Sears Boston, Massachusetts. She is entertaining her friends.

The Lavender Letters

It could also allow two people to begin, reunite, or end a relationship - without the embarrassment of ever meeting up.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been recorded unabridged in order to maintain the true essence of Fitzgerald's farcical black humor. However, the sheer idiocy of the plot is brought into question, particularly when considering the author's previous fine works. In fact, there are so many story inadequacies, we can only wonder why it was written, and why it was chosen to be a Hollywood movie in 2008, starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Tilda Swinton. Even more astounding is the fact that it won 13 Oscar nominations. Written 100 years ago exactly, we present it in its original story form. Enjoy.
The Blackout

As the night continues, sights and sounds become even stranger and more ominous. Are they Sylvia’s hallucinations, or is the danger real?
Poems on which to Ponder
Four poems that are open to interpretation. The Calf Path begins many hundreds of years ago but finishes in major capital cities. The Law of the Land is not only a lesson in Climate Change tactics but also a metaphor for many aspects of life.
